Happy Birthday Big Pun, Warren G and Eve

West Coast rapper Warren G turns forty-two today. The Regulator started his career in 1990 by linking up with childhood friends Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg, in which they formed their group “213”, which they named after their Long Beach area code. The group split after Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg signed deals with Death Row Records. Warren G had the option too, but he decided to work on his solo career. In April, the Regulator released his single “Party We Will Throw Now”, which featured Game and the late Nate Dogg. You can follow the rapper/producer on his twitter @regulator.

Big Pun Would've Been 41 Today

<a href="http://www.xxlmag.com/news/2012/11/big-pun-birthday-tomorrow-internet-celebrates-today/#1">As mentioned yesterday</a>, the late Bronx rapper Big Pun would have been 41 years old today. Big Pun is best known for his amazing lyrical feat, and being the first solo Latin rapper to achieve platinum status with <em>Capital Punishment</em>. Accompanied by fellow Bronx native Fat Joe, Pun was on his way to superstardom. Sadly, his struggles with his weight led to his untimely demise, as the MC would die of a heart attack at the tender age of 29. Until this day, the Big Punisher is heralded as one of the greatest lyricists of all time.
